Hello,

The error you're encountering seems to be due to a mismatch in the version of openai that chromadb and langchain are dependent on. The error message suggests that chromadb and langchain are looking for openai version ^3.0.0 or ^4.0.0, but version 4.6.0 is currently installed in your project.

Here's a potential solution based on a similar issue that was resolved in the langchainjs repository:

1. Uninstall the current version of openai in your project:

npm uninstall openai

2. Install the version of openai required by chromadb and langchain:

npm install [email protected]

3. Uninstall the current versions of chromadb and langchain in your project:

npm uninstall chromadb langchain

4. Install the new versions of chromadb and langchain:

npm install chromadb langchain

If the issue persists, it might be due to other conflicting dependencies in your project. In this case, you might need to update your dependencies to the versions required by chromadb and langchain.

Please note that the actual package names for langchain, chromadb, and openai might be different, so make sure to use the correct names when adding them to your dependencies.

If you're still encountering issues after trying these steps, please provide more information about your project setup, such as your Node.js version, npm version, and the contents of your package.json file.

Best,
Dosu

Same problem. I have tried every version of OpenAI dependency. There's a fundamental issue with ChromaDB, OpenAI, Cohere, and langchain dependencies.

Yeah openai@"^3.0.0 | ^4.0.0" isn't a valid resolution for npm

CC @jeffchuber could we patch this? It's been causing issues for some folks. You can use >=3.0.0 instead.

@jacoblee93 yes, fire away

Opened chroma-core/chroma#1142 which should fix this longer-term when live!
